Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Elise Stefanik expressed strong support for Israel in the wake of Iran's recent attacks, attributing the situation to what she termed as President Joe Biden's failure to stand by the nation.
Stefanik criticized Biden's approach, stating, "Joe Biden’s catastrophic weakness on the world stage and his failure to support Israel our most precious ally emboldened Iran to launch a direct attack on Israel." She further highlighted Biden's policy decisions, asserting, "As soon as Joe Biden took office, he reversed President Trump’s Maximum Pressure Campaign on Iran and less than six months ago he allowed critical international sanctions on Iran’s missile and drone programs to expire, empowering Iran to launch this massive strike."
Emphasizing the importance of solidarity, Stefanik concluded by declaring, "The United States must stand with Israel and offer our unwavering support."
